    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    From what they've shown this looks like it'll be somewhat different from NMS though, less sandbox and more handholding, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as NMS feels a bit too random at times where you just kinda go through planets that aren't super interesting with nothing much to them until...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    I wouldn't say that's entirely the case, action korean games also had animation locks on some of them, notably TERA. I think it works fine when you design your combat as an action game similar to Monster Hunter/Dark Souls combat stuff where animation locks act as balancing tool for your...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    UO "melee combat", if you could call it that, was just autoattacks. You had to stop moving a little for the autoattack to fully play to hit stuff, but that just meant running at someone, stopping for like half a second for the animation to start, then moving to cancel the rest of the animation...

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    Possible but could keep it as DLC and what not. Usually Tyrannids wouldn't cooperate with anyone but could see some Chaos fucks exploiting the mess at the same time.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Usual disclaimer, it starts somewhat slow. Not as slow as some other stuff, but the first few quests you're confined into the "starting area" and don't get to do too much. Once you start the escort of the wagon towards... whatever the fuck the name of the city is, the game opens up a lot and you...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I don't think it was that bad, sure it was far from min maxing but iirc it wasn't even that much impact cause stats get muddied down at higher values? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I think it was like 15% weaker if you went for example warrior 1-150 then switched to sorcerer. And the game...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    At the same time it's somewhat disingenuous to compare FPS with it on because obviously it's gonna be higher since it just generates additional frames, but it is a nice feature. It's also unclear if their 30xx test uses DLSS2 since Returnal supports that too, which also increases FPS. Not as...

    Playstation 5

    Yeah don't think half of that will make it, for example I'd assume FFVII Reborn won't be previewed before FFXVI has been released just to avoid confusion/hype issues. Dragon's Dogma 2 I'm not sure is an exclusive platform deal(maybe though) and don't know if it's anywhere near ready to start...

    Lost Ark Online

    Yes but when ppl think of mmo numbers it's usually sub numbers cause that's the only thing you can extrapolate somewhat accurately from ingame data or available info. What are the concurrent numbers for wow or ffxiv? How bad Lost Ark is compared to them? It's a bit dumb to compare to launch...

    Lost Ark Online

    40-50k concurrent players is likely good enough for most mmos to survive, that's still a lot of people, concurrent numbers aren't the same as "monthly subs" and such.

    Switch emulators Ryujinx and Yuzu

    Well the "legal" answer is yes absolutely what are you a thief? The actual answer is obviously, no. You download a rom somewhere and the only thing you need is the key that you would usually get out of your Switch using a convoluted system(which also doesn't work if your Switch is patched up...

    Lost Ark Online

    They did the same thing with the abyss dungeons back at launch though, they nerfed them for our version and then KR got the same changes like a month later or whatever. Wouldn't be super surprising if they also did the same for KR, since nerfing old raids so they're easier to farm/learn for new...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Might just be no one is in the closed beta? But they could have more serious looking NDAs too, although these are still unlikely to be very enforcable anyway, but I remember back when I was in GW2 beta(or alpha I forgot), I had to send a copy of my ID card with a contract-like NDA back to them...

    Twitch.tv

    Well well, a bunch of them do ASMR streams and so on too, but yeah at least it's not the whole "I'm answering questions in a bikini/in a jacuzzi" kind of stuff. Bunch of them(the Hololive streamers especially) do karaoke and stuff too if you're into that, even do concerts and what not. Honestly...

    Path of Exile

    To be fair though if it's more than 50%, given a large enough amount of currency to gamble, you would come out on top as long as you can keep getting fodders right? Which means it might still be fucked even if you do lose your stuff every now and then, as long as you can just restart and keep...

    No Man's Sky

    I know they added some granular difficulty sliders stuff where you could just basically change the difficulty of specific settings(like survivability stuff) so there might be one for that yeah. You can also likely cheat with cheat engine and just make your stuff permanent. I think past the...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    While it wasn't that intrusive in BDO, I still don't like having to keep my PC on forever to get full benefits from the game, however small they were(BDO was just afk fishing+farming being done, which was negligible amounts of money but still more money than no money). Iirc Granada Espana you...

    Path of Exile

    Right you don't if you want to keep leveling your current weap(in whatever slot), but the issue here is in case the weapon in your offhand is already a static thing(like for gem leveling with white sockets or just the right sockets and it's already maxed out in crucible xp or just has a shit...

    Path of Exile

    Problem isn't so much that your swap is used or not, but that swapping weapons will drop whatever is active on your current weapons. If it's a 6L with your main skill it's fine(well assuming it's not a summon type), but if you have auras and shit in there it's just tedious shit. Not sure why you...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    As far as I remember they released a couple of big stinker patches when they fucked over everyone's movement skills that got a lot of of ppl to leave and the game wasn't in the healthiest spot to begin with probably. I think the raid was a lukewarm success too? And they probably invested a bunch...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    16's gonna be way different I'd assume, combat being action and the game being a single player 30-40h one-time(for many ppl) thing, this is a mmo where they can afford to pad the dialogues because you only get like an hour of story every 3.5months, plus it reduces the costs. No reason to...

    https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/818937/final-fantasy-xiv-stormblood Free Stormblood expansion, currently only EU but I guess NA in like 10-30mins or so. Will likely be rolled baseline in 6.5 or 6.55 or so(or maybe in 7.0 I forgot when they did that for HW).

    The "small" window was 6months, but yeah if you didn't do it they deleted everything pretty sure.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Big inflation and shit, prices on video games going up isn't too surprising since they've been stable for so long, somewhat makes sense, but yeah it's more expensive now. If not in a hurry though you can always grab it on sale later on.
  26. Pyros

    Total War: Warhammer

    Well I mean you have chaff, tanky bois, monstruous cav, guns and cannons so yeah unless it's vastly undertuned, they're gonna be pretty OP cause they kinda have no weaknesses. Only power limitation in campaign is gonna be these unit caps, but once you get enough to make a doomstack I don't...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Think I've seen a similar setup years ago in a reddit post, the right part that is, not the numbers. Also is kinda useless unless you have some sort of color blindless. Blue outline on cards=melee, purple outline on cards=ranged. It's already built in.

    Yeah balance discord and read pins or whatever you'll find the dedicated guide for the class that should cover pretty much everything there is to know.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It's underground that's why the common causes wouldn't apply but yeah they might have fucked something when they installed it or whatever. Anyway they sent me a SMS to confirm it'd get fixed "soon", and then 4hours later that they had an actual date, and that's in a whole fucking month. Don't...

    Well fuck, guy came in nice and early(good when they tell you it can be anytime from 8AM to 1PM), spent 30mins checking stuff out then figured the issue wasn't at the hub thing in the street like I thought nor at any connection point on the way, so must be somewhere inbetween which means another...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Oh yeah I remember now it being like that before when I had long duration internet issue a few years back, they didn't have the 200gb stuff(well it was a different ISP, their "solution" was to use other people's opened wifi with a special password, but there were few ppl on that ISP and the wifi...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Internet's fucked, doesn't happen often but really annoying when it does. Anyway I can use my phone decently enough, and they have some sort of "emergency" thing where they give me 200gb of data on my phone when that happens, but I also have no fucking idea what 200gb of data is supposed to be...

    It appears in a lot of random places. There was some meme at some point it was Emet-Sech watching you and stupid shit like that but it's just something they did for fun. It's like how you can find Alpha and mini Omega in various Stormblood places after you've done the story for them as they're...

    Is that video made in-engine? Looks really fucking bad for pure CG so it has to be right? If it is, it looks pretty alright, although it's questionnable using that as PR material without specifically mentionning it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean, then fire them? You can clearly see the job they do regardless of where they work, unless there's no oversight on what they do so they were probably doing the same nothing in the office, just in a less obvious way. The main reasons companies want people to go back is so they can have...
